Whether you want to pick up ingredients for suppu kandja, or you think keeping a few scotch bonnets in your fridge will deter your roommates from midnight raids on your leftovers, check out Adja Khady. This wholesale market on 116th Street right in the heart of Le Petit Senegal sells halal meats and fish, as well as Senegalese imports like baobab syrup, spiced coffee grounds, and a whole lot of palm oil.
Teitel Brothers is a little grocery store on Arthur Avenue in The Bronx packed with cheeses, nuts, olive oils, and hanging pork legs.
Chez Maty Et Sokhna is a quiet Senegalese spot where you should pick up dibi lamb and spring rolls on your way to St. Nicholas Park.
La Savane is where you go in Harlem for some casual West African food like lamb shanks, plantains, and couscous.
Eataly Downtown is the corporate mall version of the one on 5th avenue, but it’s useful for a sandwich at lunch or a drink if you’re killing time.
